Muscat Route: Stories from the Grape Region:

The summer months are perfect for delightful bike rides through the beautiful Druivenstreek region. Along the way, you can enjoy engaging stories about the area’s fascinating heritage. Michaël Van Droogenbroeck, a resident of the Druivenstreek himself, had fascinating conversations with locals that you can listen to via the ErfgoedApp.

Steep hills first take you to Terhulpen, where the Belgian Baidordruif grape variety was developed at the provincial research center from a cross of the Muscat grape. Passing the beautiful Lake of Genval and several grape growers, you’ll arrive in Overijse. Be sure to stop by the Dru!f Visitor Center—highly recommended as an introduction to the Grape Region. You’ll finish this route on unpaved paths through the mighty Sonian Forest.
